Bella's mom says: This is Bella she is a Yorkie terrier and is
ten months old and weighs 2.8 pounds. We were blessed with Bella in
August of 2006. She is completely blind and has a liver condition.
When she first came to us she was very gentle and slept a lot. She
would eat very little. Her one eye was very enlarged from glaucoma
and the other had actually burst. She had ear mites and and an ear
infection. Poor little girl had never even stepped on grass! After
taking her to the vet and getting her on herbs and antibiotics she
is now a real puppy -- chewing, playing, pouncing, and eating much
better. She is a wonderful addition to our family.

She's so adorable! Thanks for taking her in and giving her a great home!

What a precious little princess... holy stereotype I just made...Yorkies always look so demure and sweet, but I know they're just like any other doggie (holy terror/snuggle monkey when the occasion calls for one or the other). She looks absolutely wonderful, and is lucky to have such a caring family. Our differences make us unique and special and MORE valuable, not less - way to go family for realizing that! YAY for equal opportunity puppy-lovers

Bella means beautiful and may I say that the name fits her perfectly! What an angel. What a little fighter she is, holding on for life with such health problems. You are her angel and best friend, bless you for being there for her!

Awwwwwwww, Bella! It is so wonderful that you took such good care of her from the start. It must be hard to find people who are so willing to put time and money into a dog with health problems from the start. That is one reason why many dogs are not adopted--people don't want to deal with a special-needs dog. I am so glad that you did adopt Bella, especially because dogs are much faster at adapting to blindness and deafness than people. Most of the blind dogs I have met in my life didn't really act any differently from the seeing dogs. They still enjoy life and are wonderful friends. Good for you and YAY for Bella.

I am so happy you took a chance and took this beautiful little girl in! It's so hard to find people willing to take in a dog with such serious health concerns. You've truly saved her and have given her the chance to lead a long, happy and hopefully very healthy life! I hope you both enjoy each other!!

What an amazing story. (sad, but moving) It brought tears to my eyes. You are an amazing person to take care of that sweet beauty. She reminds me very much of my Yorkie, Lexy. I wouldn't trade her for the world. Your story warms the heart & soul and I wish there were more people out there as kind and generous as you! Much love and well wishes from me to you and yours!

Oh Bella, you're such a cutie. You look like a real princess. You may be 'different' and have lots of obstacles to face, but I am sure you must be happy with your loving family. XXx Glad you found each other.
